Memory Foam Mattress

Memory Foam Mattress is not just another ordinary mattress. It is one of the best surfaces to sleep on in the history of medical science. This Mattress is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals that add to its viscosity level, thereby increasing its density. Memory Foam is firmer in cool temperatures and softer when warm. Memory foam reacts to body heat which allows it to mould itself to the shape of a warm body within a few minutes. The example often used to demonstrate its properties is that a hand pressed into the foam and then removed will leave a clear impression in the foam.

Memory Foams were originally developed by NASA to decrease the very high pressure caused by the extreme gravitational-force occurring during the take-off of the space shuttle. Although it was never used in the space program but was subsequently used medically, for example by patients who used to lie in bed on hard or very firm mattresses for long periods of time without regularly moving such as being bed-bound after a paralyzing stroke or dues to slip disk or for that matter any medical reason. The pressure over some of their bony regions decreased or stopped the blood flow to the region causing horrific pressure sores and/or gangrene. Memory foam mattresses helped hugely to decrease such events.

Memory foam was initially too expensive for general use, but in recent years it has become cheaper to produce and is now widely available and used for example, a memory foam cervical pillow may alleviate chronic neck pain. Its heat-retaining properties may help some pain sufferers who find the added warmth helps decrease the pain.

A memory foam mattress is usually denser than an ordinary foam mattress. This makes it more supportive - but also heavier. It is often seen as a good compromise between the comfort of a soft mattress and the supportiveness of a firm one. Memory foam mattresses are more expensive then the traditional mattresses but they last longer.

Thus to conclude one can say, D4S homecare beds help you get that right kind of position and the surface to sleep on. It acts like a slow medicine which in many cases has helped people get relief from the body pain by improving the blood circulation. It's a combination of medical science and engineering technologies.
